He has to be "limited" until Monday, but this is great great progress.

New guy Laron Scott jumps right in taking reps on KO returns.

I really wonder if this is because they see how valuable Wilson can be on offense and don't want to risk his health as a returner. Obviously Jernigan and Hosley have had their miscues too, but seems like Hixon and Wilson could be fine options.

I asked some of the beat writers and they all said they'd be shocked if he didn't make the roster.

They're gonna push Will Hill and Sash BIG TIME this year. If either of them can REALLY shine, we may see KP leave after this season. Re-signing KP might be too much money to throw at the safety spot. Of course I'd rather ditch Rolle and keep KP, but that won't happen and I really don't see them being able to afford both.

I will be pissed if we don't resign KP, if it means cutting Rolle then so be it but we CANNOT lose Phillips!!!

Scott had a 67-yard kickoff return for the New Orleans Saints in their first preseason game, but he was ultimately released to make room for another signing. He did have 12 interceptions as a cornerback at Georgia Southern and said he's eager for the opportunity to play defense and special teams as well. (He even told CBSSports.com that he'd welcome the opportunity to be on the practice squad.)

Scott ranked third in the NCAA last season with a 30.59-yard kick-return average. He returned two kicks for touchdowns in his collegiate career, but only returned one punt in three seasons at Georgia Southern. Oddly enough, that return was good for 41 yards.

“That's a good question,” Scott said when asked why he never returned another punt. “I ask the same question myself. I never second-guessed the coaches though.”

Marvin Austin thought the news on his injured back was good, but he probably should’ve checked with Tom Coughlin first.

The Giants coach was much more pessimistic about the back issue Austin described earlier as just “a little back ache”. In fact, Coughlin said the Giants are sending Austin for more tests. He also wouldn’t rule out the possibility that problem was structural – like a disc problem.

Needless to say, Austin will not play Saturday night against the Jets and at this point his entire preseason is probably in doubt.

“I don’t know,” Coughlin said. “They’re doing more tests. He said he felt pretty good today. A lot of the early symptoms were no longer there. But they’re going to do another set of tests on him. We’re hoping that within a reasonable amount of time he can come back and play.”

Asked if the initial tests showed anything structural, Coughlin said “I don’t know. Structural being what? They’re dealing with some issues there, yeah. I’m not going to tell you exactly what it was. We’re going to have to wait and see.”

I'm more worried about cb .. Hosley and prince need to step up way more than we planned I think our FO would of kept Ross if he was a little more solid over TT if they had any clue prince wouldn't progress or TT may be done for .Again
